Vitamin K1 Powder

What’s Vitamin K1？

Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin, also called phylloquinone, that is essential for blood clotting and is primarily found in leafy green vegetables. It is a key component of the body’s blood clotting process, as it is necessary for the synthesis of proteins that enable blood to clot and stop bleeding. Vitamin K1 is also involved in bone health and other processes. Given the importance of vitamin K1 in human health, some food manufacturers add vitamin K1 to food as a nutritional enhancer.

Food sources

Leafy green vegetables: The richest sources of vitamin K1 include kale, spinach, collard greens, Swiss chard, and turnip greens.
Other vegetables: Broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts also contain vitamin K1.
Fruits: Some fruits like avocado, kiwi, and grapes contain vitamin K1.
Oils: Some plant oils are also a source of vitamin K1.

Vitamin K1 functions

Blood clotting:
Vitamin K1 is essential for the production of proteins, such as prothrombin, that are necessary for blood to clot properly, a process that helps wounds heal and prevents excessive bleeding.

Bone health:
It is involved in creating the protein osteocalcin, which helps strengthen bones and plays a role in bone mineralization.

Heart health:
Some studies indicate that vitamin K1 may help protect the heart by lowering inflammation and preventing arteries from hardening due to calcium buildup.

Other roles:
Vitamin K1 is also found in other parts of the body and is involved in other functions, though its role is still being researched.
